Aston Martin Will Build The Stunning Vanquish Zagato

You really thought there was a chance that Aston Martin wouldn't put the Vanquish Zagato Concept into production? It was pretty obvious that this was a Concept in name only. Even Aston CEO Andy Palmer couldn't help but tweet a very thinly veiled hint that this Zagato-designed Vanquish would hit production just days after its debut at the Villa D'Este Concours. All we had to do was wait for official word from the company.

Now, that word has come as Aston has just announced that it'll build 99 examples of the Vanquish Zagato each "made to order" in its UK factory. The company also took this as an opportunity to release new pictures of the car and somehow, they're even better than the studio shots taken when the car was first unveiled. We forgive you if you're drooling.

In a press release, Aston Martin said the Vanquish Zagato's design will remain "closely related" to that of the concept car. The bodywork is made entirely out of carbon fiber and the Vanquish's 6.0-liter V12 will be massaged to produce 576 bhp. Aston will even develop a unique suspension tune for the Vanquish Zagato rather than leave the stock Vanquish's suspension unchanged.

With a new Vanquish on its way in the next couple of years, this is likely the send-off to the old car, and it's one hell of a tribute.
